Yes was on Tagrisso, but it did not work for me. Am about to start Pemetrexed and Carbopltin every 21 days.

Hello @embersonia, I'm sorry that the Tagrisso wasn't effective for you. It can't work for all variants of the disease. This discussion may be helpful as you begin your next treatment regimen: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/carboplatin-plus-permetrexed/
How long ago were you diagnosed? I'm also stage IV, 4 1/2 years ago, ALK positive.
